Plan.It Design, LLC

Plan.It Design, LLC full-service residential interior design firm founded in 2005, specializing in creative, personalized touches that won't bust your budget!

Plan.It Design was founded in 2005, when after 7 years of doing part time residential work; I decided to pursue my dream of a design firm ‘full time’. With the blessing of two busy baby boys in 2006 and 2007, the company quickly became a part time venture again! Now, with both of my boys in public school, I am enjoying a more flexible schedule and more time to focus on a company I love and my pass

ion for interior design. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Winthrop University and spent the first few years of my design career focused on commercial design & construction management. While I loved the experience and the exposure, nothing could match the personal connection I enjoyed making with my residential clients! I feel so blessed to have such a myriad of amazing clients and am always excited to meet new faces and tackle new spaces!

We knew it would be good, but THIS 🤩!!! found this FABULOUS wallcovering at & she was spot on, suggesting it was exactly what this historical home needed. Paired with the chandelier: It. Is. Perfect. Unbelievable how much these accents truly transform the beautifully-detailed, winding staircase; the perfect blend of bold yet timeless! 😍

Closet Transformation-Part Two : HIS 👔 We repurposed the original master bathroom into a spacious walk in closet complete with custom built in dresser. Formerly the space housed a pedestal sink, seated vanity - & at one time, the toilet (which was relocated to an adjacent addition in the 80’s). We were ecstatic to find the ORIGINAL tile floor still in tact during our demo phase & opted to re-work our layout just enough to accommodate using that floor alongside our new marble tile. It a beautiful blend of old & new & perfect transition from the master bedroom to the spacious bathroom en suite while still offering ample storage. closet design : closet fabrication & installation : marble tile : custom dresser :

Closet Transformation Part One : Hers 👗 Huge shoutout to the many subs & vendors that helped us transform this formerly awkward space - a small closet & craft room - into the dreamiest dressing room! Grateful that even though not everyone saw the vision, they helped us painstakingly salvage & beautifully incorporate the exposed brick, original 2x4’s, & a peek into the slat + plaster construction. with knocked it out of the park with the closet design & the solid walnut island top is the perfect finishing piece! closet design : closet fabrication & installation : pine hardwoods : Jeff Gunn walnut island tops : Darryl Page slat & plaster glass shelving : 2x4 accent shelf : Chris & Jimmy chandelier :

Our goal was a historical home with mega storage AND style…pretty sure we NAILED IT. The new mudroom is a re-work of the old laundry room, including replacing the old window with a new door & side porch. The new laundry room was a component of the addition portion of the project along with the attached garage. SO functional, SO practical & yet SO beautiful!

Our hearts may be broken but his is healed. After years of health battles, last week ’s dad rested in the arms of the Savior he faithfully served for 79 years. He inspired & instilled the unbelievable work ethic & can-do-it-all mentality that has been the cornerstone of John’s successful careers. He & I shared a deep love of telling a story through spaces & the ‘treasures’ they hold; we loved nothing more than a good salvage project collaboration between us! Thank you for so many kind words of support & understanding as we have chosen to focus on family first last week & this week. We are always humbled by the trust our clients place in us & your projects are always of the utmost importance, but we appreciate the opportunity to step away when it matters most & feel blessed to have the choice. If he loved you, he was your biggest fan & will be dearly, dearly missed.

Home. Over the past week & a half this property has transitioned from project /job site to HOME. We are still a few days away from our first ‘sleep’ here, but the dumpster, porta pot, permit & construction cones are history. It’s truly unbelievable how far we have come in just SIX months. This project could have easily been a 12-18 month endeavor but persistence & perseverance won. We received our CofO’s for the interior reno & addition within 10 days of closing on our RP home. While served as our GC for the interior reno, we trusted to GC the garage/laundry/deck addition. What a ride. While the bulk of this addition component was ‘new construction’ seamlessly attaching it to a 115-year old structure was no small feat. The process wasn’t without frustration on all sides (would you want a professional designer as a client?!?), but we prayed about bringing the right team to the table & we feel confident, for a multitude of reasons, that we did just that. Everyone that touched this project should be proud, but the ultimate perseverance award should go to .774 who has tirelessly answered late night & early morning calls/ texts, navigated tough conversations, has been onsite almost daily, & learned alongside us every step of the way. We realize the changes & design decisions we have made to this iconic property may not be everyone’s favorite, but rest assured not a single decision or selection was made without painstaking consideration of balancing honoring its history & filling it with the modern amenities that will position it for maximum future value- because isn’t making it desirable how we truly PRESERVE historical property?? The hours, tears, prayers & cheers expended on this endeavor are truly countless. Many have asked if we plan to do an open house. The short answer is Yes; but, first we look forward to enjoying our final summer with both of our sons under one roof & to working on the beautiful yard/property in the fall. The kind words of support & encouragement have meant the world to us & we have every intention of sharing the finished product as a genuine thank you for following along!

Graduation Season means… DORM days are just around the corner! We offer custom designs that include a layout & selections on a concept board with live links so you can order items directly. We also have a list of tips & tricks many find helpful on move in day. This isn’t necessarily about making a dorm fancy or bougie (although we can! 😍), it’s about making the most of a small space. It’s about the most efficient layout & a design that allows students to feel like they have ‘zones’ for sleeping, studying & socializing in the same tight quarters & ensuring your purchases are practical & useful for your student. Pics are of my oldest son’s freshman dorm at NCSU (Tucker Hall); he wasn’t so gung-ho on ‘mom’ designing his dorm, but was quick to admit how much they used the futon/sofa & how their room quickly became a place for friends to gather. He didn’t want anything over-the-top that looked like I’d touched it & yet we still gave he & his roommate a space that felt like the best version of ‘theirs’. These are quick & easy fun summer projects for us, so please reach out if we can help you - locally or remotely - & please share so we can spread the word!

SO much still to do…. But thrilled to have ONE room down at , so we snapped a few pics to share!!! We transformed this under stair storage closet into the perfect powder room by stealing a few square feet of built ins from an adjacent bathroom. The vanity is constructed from 100+ year old solid walnut gifted to me by my dad & handed down to him from a childhood woodworking mentor & friend. The space is a tad awkward, totally quirky, full of personality & exactly what we hoped for!

Last night we were thrilled to be the recipients of a 2025 Preservation Gaston Residential Award for our RESTOREDonmain project at 203 N Main St in downtown Belmont. Thank you Nancy Gadd for your humbling nomination; it is such an honor to be recognized by those far more seasoned than ourselves in this realm of design! Clearly, we have poured a lot of heart, soul, elbow grease & prayers into this journey, but the real hero’s are the countless subcontractors that have meticulously brought our vision to life - & all of the dear friends that have encouraged & cheered us along the way! Without them, this dream would never have come true! Counting down the days to our final inspections - later this week & early next! Let the moving begin! 💛
